^yeah my store had tons of the version but went with ps3 because it was the last copy. Resistance 3 was a very limited supply as well.

I picked up resistance 3 this week. Should I play resistance 1 and 2 before I play the third?

That didn't work for me, which prompted the "safe mode" fix, which locked me out of my system until I reformatted the HDD. Before you try to do ANYTHING, back up your saves.

I haven't played the resistance games. I heard they aren't good. True or not? I recently bought red dead redemption goty for 20. How does it compare to that game?

Well I havent played R3 but I played the original, and its a pretty decent quality series. I think one of the big draws of the franchise is that it has unique weapons for a fps.

RDR is a third person sandbox style action game so theres really no way to compare them. I have played RDR and I can say its a really great game and by most accounts its much better than R3

Its tough to compare them other than saying one is better than the other because they are such different style games

I had to get the empty tag and have them manually enter the SKU to try to find a store around here with it o_O No idea why this is the case but it is. So grab it now if you wanted the PS3 version

Strangely enough, at my preferred store, they had a handful of PS3 copies, but none for the 360. Kinda upsetting as it was the 360 version I wanted, but I didnt (dont) have the time to go to a different store so I got the PS3 version; even though I have Origins and Awakenings for the 360 (but in true CAG fashion, I *just* got these from Kmart).

It has a brief recap, but one in particular has a pretty cool story and delivery IMO. Is play them to really know what is going in. Two has some epic boss battles. The first game is one of my all time favorites, one of the few and first FPS games that seemed to have epic scale that feels real, its not one of those happy ending series, there is always a sense of hopelessness.

Same at the nearby BB. They have tons of x360 version, but only a handful of PS3 version. Got one for PS3.

Yeah xbox to PS3 DAII ratio seems to be 3:1 at most stores. Most of them were pretty low on R3 as well (before the coupons went live).

Is the PS3 version better for DAII? I don't see why they would run out of PS3 versions while there seems to be a lot of XBOX versions left.

IDK if there is one that is better, I just noticed that they have a lower stock of PS3 at most stores.

For what it's worth, Lens of Truth's Head2Head compared the two versions and concluded that overall its a tie between them:

Same here. Although there are fixes out there and plenty of people can play the game, I don't feel like even going through possibly getting this issue. Plus I don't think I have the HDD space for it.

It's actually an old known issue, just uninstall when you can leave it on for an hour or two

When you try to uninstall, the system will hang and the uninstall process will corrupt your hard drive. I am certain of this because I bought the game for $20 during Amazon's black friday sales. However, you can still luck out like me and not have to completely reformat your hard drive. If you go into maintenance mode and choose one of the "clean up options" then it will just clean up all of the corrupted files and the rest of your hard drive will be fine. Update: It is Safe Mode, then Option 3

Thanks for the heads up. Fortunately I'm still sitting on close to 400gb free as I plopped a 640 Scorpio Blue in my PS3 a couple years back, so I'll probably just let the data sit and not even touch it and risk any issues. But I will copy this down in a note to myself in the unlikely event I do ever need to reclaim that space.

I did the gamer unlock deal since I am tired of buying the individual mags. I got my free copy and used the coupons out of it today
Grabbed R3, Dragon age II, deadliest warrior, and SSX. Came to 54.96(not including the unlock) out the door. My family has been wanting SSX since it came out so I did not feel like waiting.

Got Resistance 3 today, thanks OP. The Best Buy I went to needs to update their prices, R3 was marked as $39.99.

i got deadliest warrior, resistance 3, and dragon age 2 all for ps3. worked great for me.

YMMW word of warning. I got Resistance 3 (and DA2 even though I may never play it) and as I was checking out, someone came by and told the cashier to make sure that I was Unlocked because the coupons wouldn't work without that. I don't believe she was right, but it might be a manager override. Luckily, I am Unlocked so it makes no difference to me, but just for anyone else who is not.

Don't push bad info please, check back of coupons.
